Highly Recommended

After unsuccessfully meeting with multiple bankruptcy attorneys, I figured I knew what to expect when walking into my consultation with Stuart Handelman. I was wrong. Unlike the others, he was understanding of my situation and expressed a genuine care for helping people overcome there financial str...uggles. He was hired on the spot. My situation was very unique and throughout the process we encountered many obstacles and changes to my financial situation. Stuart and his team handled everything promptly and professionally. I will forever be grateful to Stuart and his team for getting me through these tough times and providing me the opportunity to rebuild financially.

Peace of mind

For the first time in my life I found myself in a situation that seemed unfixable. I allowed a person to take advantage of my finances. I was scared and felt all alone. I finally decided to contact a lawyer. Initally I went to a different firm and spoke to a lawyer there. I walked out of that office ...in tears. She made me feel ashamed of myself for allowing that to happen. She belittled me and cursed at me. It was horrible! After some time had passed I decided to try talking to a lawyer again. This time my experience was night and day! I initially met with Kelly Smith, she is amazing! She immediately put my fears at ease. I felt like I was talking to a long time friend. Kelly normally deals with Chapter 7 and I was filing for Chapter 13. However Kelly was the one who helped me get the paperwork started and went to court with me. After my trustee was assigned my case was then re-assigned to Jean Huang. She to is very competent, professional and prompt. Anytime I had questions or concerns she answered them immediately. Anytime I called into the office thier legal assistant Desiree Glapion was also prompt and professional. I would highly recommend this office to anyone. They were my life savers when I was drowning.

Jean

I was very very apprehensive and nervous, I had never done this, but after speaking to Mr. Handelman initially,I felt better. Then I was introduced to Ms. Jean Huang who was very very helpful and compassionate. There were a few times when my case was up for dismissal and Ms Huang assisted me in... compliance with the court and trustee's requests. This was not easy for me but Ms.Huang hung in there with kind encouragement for me. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!

Pleasant Professional Experience with Trustworthy Attorney During Difficult Time

Filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy was a hard and uncomfortable decision. We met with initially with Stuart in the Olympia Fields office and he made us feel at ease and took time to explain the process. We never felt embarrassed or ashamed, it was a very pleasant experience. In the days before the court... date, his office kept us informed of any paperwork and expectations. Anytime we had questions, we were able to call or email and get immediate responses. On the day of court, we were greeted by Stuart and he accompanied us through the entire process which helped ease the process by making it more comfortable. To date, we have had a couple setbacks and appreciate the continued help and communication, making this process as seamless as possible. We would especially like to mention Jean Haung, she has been awesome in helping with a unforeseen circumstance and getting us back on track. It is nice to know that they are there to listen and advise as needed even after the bankruptcy was filed. This law firm is highly recommended to everyone!

Excellent Attorney

During a very difficult time in my life I needed the help of an attorney to help me deal with some financial issues, some of my making and some that were not exactly mine. I saw a couple of attorneys and it just did not feel right. I felt to put it bluntly ashamed and the way I was being treated; ...their attitude made it more so. I learned of Mr. Handelman from one of my customers and made an appointment to meet him. His staff from the very first day was helpful. He was immediately responsive while not being pushy and went over every detail of my issue and all of my options and why each option had a pro and a con. On the day of court apperance he was there and was reassuring, went over with me the process that was about to take place and before I knew it it was over! Approximately a year later, I had an instance where I needed clarification regarding one of my accounts, he called me back immediately and broke it down for me and made me feel welcomed and not at all bothered that a year later I was calling him. I have recommended him many times and when I learned of this website, I felt comfortable posting my thoughts on his service as I truly believe he can help you if you need his legal assistance.
